GM TBI throttle body rebuilding. It's a thing. Has anyone ever needed one? I am looking at adding a service.

Not only Quadrajets. This lovely Holley 1850-2 600cfm vacuum secondaries unit came across my bench, and I just had to build it.

*Manual Choke*

In stock now for $350.00

Rebuilt, but not recoloured. Super clean inside.

Satisfaction guaranteed. Honest.

Summerland, BC car show. Many excellent vehicles. Lots of Edelbrocks, Holleys, even a very cool twin 1bbl Stromberg setup on a flathead v8.

I found two cars running Qjets, and of course there were others I didn't see.

Super weather,the local Scouts selling burgers. In all a worthy event.

I am getting lots of "Do you supply parts?" calls. Mostly from Canadian clients looking for a Canadian supplier. I get it. We are in strange times.

Sadly Canada does not, to my knowledge, manufacture automotive carburetor parts.

So folks, if you want quality carburetor parts, they come from the USA. I can get 'em for you, from the USA. Never from auto shops, never from Amazon.

BUT! Once you consider freight, markup and re-ship, you are better off buying direct. I won't provide used jets, rods, hangars. (See photos...worn, wrong or damaged). That's because A: I can't warranty them and B: even with USX and freight, small parts are very affordable from Cliff.

BTW, anything not Quadrajet, I prefer Mike's Carbs in WA State.

I earn my pay rebuilding your carb. Call me if I can help you with that. I buy your parts for you from these suppliers. If you want only parts...buy direct.

I am off to Princeton shortly to take part in the Princeton Show And Shine 2026, as a vendor and sponsor. This is a great show, for some a season-ender. Just watching the miles of great cars come into town is worth it!

Drop by. Say hello, maybe look at some carburetors.

I get asked to take on some side jobs at times. This one is an original fuel pump from a 64 Oldsmobile 364. Can you believe it,parts are available!

This client had me rebuild his stock original Rochester 4GC earlier this year, so when he asked me to do this job I agreed right away. Honoured to be part of such an exciting build.

Satisfaction Guaranteed. Honest.

Dateline August 22, 2026.

It looks like any trade deal with the USA has fallen apart, as of today. Analysts are predicting some hard times ahead, for both countries.

I buy the best carburetor parts I can, and almost all of these these come from US suppliers. Thank you Cliff Ruggles, Mike's Carbs, Summit Racing, and others, for the top grade and quality you provide.

If our parts prices are affected by border tariffs, I will not pass them along to our customers. I will cover any tariffs levied against carburetor parts.

Satisfaction Guaranteed. Honest.

Last spring, I sold a rebuilt carb at the Vernon, BC swap meet. The buyer has got back to me just now, very unhappy. He listed several problems with the carb.

I have offered to refund him, and pay for shipping back to me so I can figure out how I went wrong. There is something for me to learn in this. I hope he accepts it.

My guarantee is intended to protect my clients from dissatisfaction of any kind. They do not have to prove it, or even explain it. I mean it when I say...

I experimented on a garbage core, using 60grit sand in a sand blaster, in place of the baking soda I usually use. The damage to the surface is obvious.

Does anyone use anything other than baking soda to blast off staines in the carb?

Picture shows a Holley 1940 type 1bbl, in this case it's from a Snowcat with a Ford 6 in it. This unit was very heavily sedimented in the bowl, which damaged the float(s), and plugged the power valve and single jet. Cleaned up great! This was a really fun project.

Satisfaction Guarateed. Honest.
